Regarding the edit on Vilnus

I couldn't think of a better word at the time. Just change the word, don't delete my edit. ~2025-31185-21 (talk) 15:47, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@~2025-31185-21: You have not edited Vilnius page so what are you talking about? – sbaio 16:22, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary account IP viewer granted

Hello, Sbaio. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:29, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Errors?

What errors did you find in this edit? Чаховіч Уладзіслаў (talk) 15:28, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As I already wrote, you are not fluent in Lithuanian language and the translation program that you used has a lot of errors. First of all, the Apie lietuvių asmens vardus source (correct translation of source name would be "About Lithuanian personal names") does not mention Old Slavic or Latin forms of Vytautas so what you are doing is WP:SYNTH, which is forbidden. The source mentions that the name was reconstructed from Russian, German and Belarusian languages. In addition, the second part of your addition (Aš esu Kazimieras Būga ir man jau 140) is not about Vytautas since more names are mentioned so there is no reason for that statement to be there. – sbaio 08:06, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit reversions around `{{Hockey color}}`

Hello sbaio,

I notice that you have been reverting my edits to PWHL pages around my usage of {{Hockey color}}, with a reason of "that's meant for navboxes, tables and others".

Respectfully, I don't understand your reasoning.

My intention in using the "Hockey color" template in these situations is to not have to repeat hex color codes that might change. Using the template also makes it easier to not reverse the colors, or use an incorrect color code, as it's referencing the module and pulling the color codes from there.

What about this is incorrect, in your view? --Mike Vitale 05:17, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MikeVitale: I am not sure for how long you have been editing ice hockey-related pages, but there was never any consensus among WP:NHL editors to have such module. And now I see that you created this particular module so it is clear why you are questioning the usage. You should have first gained consensus from WP:NHL before using it. Please refrain from adding it back until you gain consensus at WP:NHL. – sbaio 08:09, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MikeVitale: In addition, I see after further inspection that all three templates that you created were deleted in this 2020 AFD. Therefore, I am nominating your recreated templates for speedy deletion per CSD G4 (G4. Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). Furthermore, Module:Sports color/ice hockey was discussed in other AFD and at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Archive76#New wiki-code templates for all 32 NHL ice hockey teams. – sbaio 10:47, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Accidents that aren't accidents

About this: You may be interested in reading Accident#Road traffic about why "car accident" is not usually a neutral word choice. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:05, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Some agency asking to avoid that word is not the reason not to use it. In addition, sources about Lindbergh's death use accident instead of other words. – sbaio 05:51, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, a decades-long public relations campaign promoting the word accident to make their industry seem blameless is a reason to avoid the word accident.

Also, it wasn't "an accident". He was drunk. Drunk drivers don't "have accidents"; they "cause wrecks". This wire services article calls it "an alcohol-related car crash". I think that would be accurate and fair. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:56, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
